About This Class

This is an introductory class to starting your very own creative journal. A creative journal can provide creative inspiration for when you are creatively stuck and motivate you to get back into your creativity if life has distracted you.

In the long run, a creative journal can give you insight into what you find creatively inspiring and how you get back into your creative mindset ASAP. A creative journal is a great way to boost your creativity if you are ever creatively stuck.

Fantastic and inspiring. Tatiana as a teacher gives encouragement and is creative in showing a learner how to overcome mental and physical blocks to one's creative endeavors. Thank you so much I'm still enjoying this class and learning so much more.

My name is Tatiana Ambrose, and my world revolves around creativity and creative thought. I have a BFA degree in Creative Writing and find myself drawn to the questions most creative enthusiasts are drawn to: how to generate new ideas, and how to stand out from the crowd as I do it.

For ten years, I have contemplated these two questions, almost exclusively, during my creative work (academic work as well as personal). My creativity expresses itself through still life drawing with various art media, paper art, painting, acrylic, rock art, ceramics, sewing, jewelry, pastels and multimedia work. Abstract art has always been my favorite; it is through that medium that my creativity can really soar.

In 2009 I began a YouTube channel focusing on upcycling pop tabs and creating tutorials encouraging others to follow along. These videos are still some of the most popular videos on my channel with almost 5 million total views. [Check Out My YouTube Channel Here]

My channel has evolved from crafts to now focus more on me and my lifestyle, with the occasional videos of my two dogs, Ares and Athena. I have worked professionally with dogs since I was a teenager and have experience in dog training, dog grooming and in the veterinary field. My passion for dogs is a close second to my love of creativity.

Yet just as my channel has evolved, so has my thinking about creativity. I now see it as a way to give life to anything I encounter as struggling to be beautiful, exciting, or different from the crowd. Creativity has a use in our everyday lives, if we just relax and allow our thoughts to escape the box we try to force them into.

Your journey of creativity is individual to you, and I hope I get to know you through that journey, regardless of where it takes you or how you choose to use it.
